Nice food transcends gender. Cookies are generally popular at any sort of meeting or group or whatever, in my experience, and some GMs at my role-play soc are successful at luring players to their games with food of various sorts…

True enough, but you realize that the whole issue started with someone’s observation that atheist/skeptical meetings were noticeably white male dominated? The implication was that either women and nonwhites were being excluded, or that something was making it unappealing to them.It’s an interesting observation of both skeptics and liberals – you can make baseless accusations, but we’re open-minded enough to at least consider the possibility. Then we get razzed for trying to ensure that they are baseless. But the general consensus was that we were already damned before that, so no net loss…

But I do just that! “Hey, babe. I really dig your big…frontal lobes. Let’s you and me do something blasphemous after the meetup. I’ll show you my Dawkins if you’ll show me your Hitchens, if you know what I mean.”Works every time. :p
